Authentication Types

Authentication Types is a standard configuration interface for the authentication options within Oracle Communications Unified Assurance.

You can configure Unified Assurance to authenticate users with the following methods:

• Internal: For backup accounts and environments without external authentication. Internal authentication is always active. There will always only be a single instance of the Internal authentication type, and you cannot delete, clone, or disable it.

• LDAP: For OpenLDAP integration.

• Active Directory: For Microsoft Active Directory (AD) integration.

• SAML: For SAML integration.

  Note

  With the SAML authentication type enabled, all deep-links will attempt to validate against SAML service, potentially redirecting the user to a SAML identity provider login screen. All users should log into the top-level Web FQDN and only use deep-links after logging in.

For conceptual information about authentication types, see the following topics in Unified Assurance Security Guide:

• Configuring External Authentication Types

• Authentication Options and Adding User Accounts

• Configuring Multitenancy

• Multi-Group Users

For information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.

This user interface calls REST methods from the api/AAA/authTypes endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then AAA, and then Authentication Types.
